The Shadow Box

This production of Michael Cristofer’s Pulitzer- and Tony-winning play is a many-tissue journey through life, grief and impending death. It takes place in three cottages on hospital grounds, each one housing a terminal patient. Here, the important people in their lives have gathered for goodbyes and the play explores the pain and privileges as well as the confrontations and avoidances of saying goodbye. The play is heady, and emotional, unveiling three different stories that have aches of recognition for those who have dealt with the challenges, anger, anguish and sometimes peace that death can bring. F, Sa 8pm. Through 4/2. $15-$20. Resurrection Theatre at Wilkerson Theatre, 1723 25th Street; (916) 491-0940; www.resurrectiontheatre.com. P.R.
